384 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if Mayo County Council applied for a time extension to the Mayo county development plan; when it was applied for; and when it was approved. [7666/02]
The current Mayo county development plan was adopted in 1992. In late 1997, Mayo County Council applied to my Department for an extension of the period to complete the review of the 1992 county plan to 30 June 1999. This request was not granted as the council did not provide my Department with a realistic timetable for the expected completion of the review. It was agreed that the council would submit a further request for an extension to the review period once the draft plan was prepared and ready to be put on display.
